[svn-r6789] Purpose:

new feature

Description:
during the sequencial match list, by default the differences between matched datasets were printed.
added an -m option that allows to turn this off, just printing the file differences

Solution:

Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
